Traditional Library Management Systems (LMS) have evolved from fundamental and elementary cataloguing instruments to platforms supporting digital entry and user engagement. However, they continue insufficient for tackling modern obstacles like budget restrictions, resource replication, and equitable admittance across organizational boundaries. This paper introduces UniShare-LMS, a federated framework that merges behavioral management processes with academic prioritization algorithms to permit intelligent resource sharing across library consortia. The system employs a dynamic Student Library Credit Score (SLCS) to incentivize responsible borrowing and a multi-tiered reservation algorithm that allocates resources established on academic relevance alternatively than request chronology. Built on a Koha/ILS core with MySQL backend and React.js frontend, UniShare-LMS applies automated financial management for cost recovery in inter-library loans. Our implementation shows that the integration of credit-aware management with necessity-based queuing significantly improves resource utilization fairness, reduces redundancy, and enhances the sustainability of collaborative library networks.
